Deere-est Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Lovely mate!! Had a thought today for something you may like to make, would look pefect in that paddock. . ...... A creep feeder (linkage mounted for moving around the farm.) With your metalwork skills you were the first person I thought of when I saw one in a field. Not that I am hinting at wanting one or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Can't remember what the make of the one we had on the farm was, all made out of box section and sheet though. Galvanised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEBRITFARMER Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I think britfarmer made one of those a while back.... \ Wasn't me, some on the forum did though, pics and post were lost in the move. I am buggered if I can remember who it was though...was made from an old twose transport box (that I do remember) Couple of pics of one I was looking at making though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 weve been making a creep fedder at farm heres some pics of prototype Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ford Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 just made this, not to good done by eye. its the size of a britains round bale. hard to get it round. [ think it will look ok on my display,a bit rustic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Thats spot on mate, the gaps are a bit big but to be honest they have to be coz the Britains cows can't fold their ears back to get their heads through like the real ones do!!! You ought to do some mishaped ones aswell to show some age a little bit. Where they have been moved with the loader and what not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ford Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 that is one of the mishaped ones Tris. :D i thought the gaps where a bit big. started with two opposite each other then 4 then filled in the gaps with one more, two more was to smaller gap. oh well you live and learn. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good to me, if you made the gaps to the right size you wouldn't be able to show the cows with their heads through so probably better that you did it like that.

IH885XLMAN Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 ok make a few of the and have them rusty the real ones only look good in the first year ours used to fall apart the galvanize sheet used to pop out or get dented by the hoofs of cows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james f Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 that looks pretty good OF, if the top was lower it would be a dead ringer for a sheep feeder. If you were doing another one I'd say do it wider, because feeders tend to be a good bit bigger than the bale any way, usaully about 7 feet across Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
